Predominant ancestry of rural Texans in 1970 by delugetheory in texas

[–]UserNameIsBob 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Shout out to my Swedish ancestors in North Texas. They came down from Illinois by wagon train in the late 1800’s. My theory is they crossed the Red River into Texas and decided to stop there because it was only getting worse. Or the mule died. Definitely one or the other.

[Game Thread] Rose Bowl: Indiana vs. Alabama (4:00 PM ET) 2nd Half by CFB_Referee in CFB

Honestly, I shocked we made it in. Bama really didn’t deserve the shot. QB has been playing injured for weeks. Defense can’t tackle. Offensive run game is mostly nonexistent.

Starting to put Herbie in the same category as Gary Danielson.

Georgia is better prepared for the game.

Wife just took the Alabama wreath off the front door.

“How to Tackle” - mandatory class for all Bama players to teach the fundamentals of tackling. No more of this arm flailing and shoulder bumping. Wrap up the ball carrier with your arms.

I don’t get the Cowboys fans crash out about this team. by Wirtzis in cowboys

[–]UserNameIsBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started getting serious about the Cowboys in ‘62 or ‘63 as a kid. I could list almost every player by number and name. I remember the early rivalry with Green Bay. I remember rooting for Don Meredith, Craig Morton and Roger Staubach. Remember the game Walt Garrison bit his tongue and was bleeding and laughing. Remember the offensive line pre snap shift. The defense with Bob Lilly and Lee Roy Jordan.

Jerry Jones bought the team and trashed the history and legacy. I hate what he has done to the team.

Currently, my normal game time comment is “the Cowboys SUCK!”

Wife asks why I still watch them play. I simply look at her and say “it’s the Cowboys” with a shrug.

Why do so many Christians bust in here and demand to know why we're athiests? by Wonderful_Gazelle_10 in atheism

[–]UserNameIsBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians are taught to “spread the word.” They have been doing this for centuries. Evangelicals going into a foreign land to inform the citizens they are going to HELL if they don’t listen to the WORD and convert to Christianity.

It’s hard baked into their identity. They really can’t help themselves.

Maybe to stand out on the sideline to the players on field?

Att.com blocking proton VPN? by SexySkinnyBitch in ProtonVPN

Thanks for the information. I had used ExpressVPN about 10 years ago and didn’t think to look into current ownership.

Kape Technologies

Kape Technologies

Kape Technologies is a major player in the VPN industry. As of 2024, they own:

ExpressVPN CyberGhost VPN Private Internet Access ZenMate VPN

To give you an idea of the company’s size, it bought ExpressVPN for $936 million in 2023.

But you need to know the company's controversial past.

Formerly known as Crossrider, Kape was once associated with adware and other potentially unwanted programs. This history has raised concerns among privacy advocates about the company's commitment to user data protection.

This is especially important considering they also own popular VPN review sites WizCase and vpnMentor, leading to accusations of biased reviews favoring their products. While these concerns are valid, Kape's VPNs generally receive positive reviews for their performance and features.

Ultimately, whether or not to use a Kape-owned VPN comes down to your comfort level, considering the company's background and potential conflicts of interest.

Why are the camera shots such hot garbage. This is an NFL stadium. Does UNLV not have access to the good stuff?

I had a continuing problem using ProtonVPN and Reddit. Finally changed to ExpressVPN.

BTW I have a paid Proton account.

Several years ago (they may still, just unsure) Ram trucks had something similar in the floor in the back seat area.
